Nuvole di cenere calda dal monte Sinabung

Mount Sinabung spews hot clouds of ashes in the district of Tanah Karo outside the city of Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on 30 August 2010. Mount Sinabung on the Indonesian island of Sumatra on 30 August erupted for a second time, forcing more than 20,000 people to remain in evacuation centres, officials said. The Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Centre said Sinabung’s second eruption occurred at 6:30 am (2330 GMT Sunday), belching a column of smoke up to 2,000 metres into the sky. The 2,451-metre-high volcano erupted for the first time in more than four centuries early Sunday, prompting the evacuation of thousands of residents from its slopes.
